Keith S. Crawford
Cybersecurity leader building sustainable, high-trust security programs & exploring Harness (Assurance Engineering).
About
I'm a cybersecurity specialist with Principal and Director-level experience building security programs for Healthcare, Finance, and SaaS organizations. My work sits at the intersection of governance, risk, and compliance — translating security frameworks into practical programs that protect what matters and enable growth.
I care deeply about helping people and organizations operate safely in a digital world. Security, to me, is ultimately about trust — building structures that reduce risk, strengthen resilience, and give teams the confidence to move forward.
What I Do
Security Governance
Designing governance models and operating rhythms that align security with business strategy
Risk Management
Building pragmatic risk frameworks that translate technical reality into clear, decision-ready insight for leadership.
Compliance & Assurance
SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and NIST — connecting audit readiness to real security outcomes.
Program Strategy
Roadmaps, operating models, and tooling strategies that scale with organizational growth and engineering velocity.
Beyond Work
I’m a proud father and volunteer with Arkansas Baptist Disaster Relief.
Outside of work you’ll usually find me kayaking, watching storms roll across the horizon, or cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks. Still learning, still building, still grateful.
